Hydras in mini normals

[Magua]

I don't mod and rarely play normals, but: this seems entirely blown out of proportion.

Hydra signed up for game, mod allowed it as mod allowed hydras.

Player signed up for games, said, "I don't want to play with hydras."

Player was told that the hydra signed up first.

End of story.

This exact same mechanism would occur if two players that don't like each other and don't want to play with each other both signed up for the same game.

Pulling hydras into it is just conflating two issues. I get that you don't like hydras, Zach, but trying to spin this as an issue for your crusade to remove them from Normals is disingenuous at best.

[Magua]

Saying, "I don't think hydras should be in Normals" is fine (I don't agree, but fine). Saying, "Hydras are killing people in the

streets

sign up queues and taking the

jobs

slots of

true blooded Americans

non-hydra players" is where the dissonance comes in for me.

I like the system that says it's mod preference.

[Magua]

I don't see anywhere that I made the latter argument.

It was how I read your "I just saw a player get pulled..." line from the OP. The implication, as I read it, was that it was unjust that this player couldn't play in that game.

And, honestly, I think y'all are approaching this from the wrong side. You don't like hydras, fine, you want

us to get off your lawn

games that don't have hydras, fine. But looking to make a rule about how the game

should be

that goes against how many people are modding it/playing it does not strike me as a recipe for success.

[Magua]

That word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

[Magua]

I think y'all are reading way too much into someone who used the term "legalized cheating."

[Magua]

You can dislike hydras all you wish.

That doesn't mean you get to redefine words or ignore logic.
